The most energy-efficient configuration of a single-server DBMS is the highest performing one, if we exclusively focus on specific applications where the DBMS can steadily run in the peak-performance range. However, typical DBMS activity levels—or their average system utilization—are much lower and their energy use is far from beingenergy proportional. Built of commodity hardware,WattDB—a distributed DBMS—runs on a cluster of computing nodes where energy proportionality is approached by dynamically adapting the cluster size. In this work, we combine our previous findings on energy-proportional storage layers and query processing into a single, transactional DBMS. We verify our vision by a series of benchmarks running OLTP and OLAP queries with varying %intensity. degrees of parallelism. These experiments illustrate that WattDB dynamically adjusts to the workload present and reconfigures itself to satisfy performance demands while keeping its energy consumption at a minimum.
